“Twonder what grade the Universal Envoy who uses a spear is in?”

Su Jingxing murmured.

Third-grade, second-grade, and first-grade were collectively called the top ranks.

‘What grade would this tall man with a spear be in?

“Heh, who cares what grade he’s in, as long as he’s in the top ranks!”

Su Jingxing shook his head and laughed.

Now that an expert of the Martial Suppression Office had arrived in Qinghe City, the major factions in the city had to settle down even if they didn’t want to.

“Twonder how many people came?”

$u Jingxing muttered and tumed around to continue his journey.

Whoosh!

He took out Thunderbolt and enlarged it. Stepping on it, he wrapped his entire body with true energy and circulated the Divine Spirit Control Technique.

‘The man and sword headed southwest.

As he was searching for the exclusive blade of the Dragon Melting Cauldron, he did not dare to move too fast. He maintained double the speed of sound and flew in the sky.

Hu! Hu! Hu!

Strong winds howled in his ears, and the ground retreated beneath his feet.

Before long, Su Jingxing left Changyang Prefecture.

As he was controlling a spirit weapon, he did not have to worry about the interference of chaotic magnetic fields from certain places on the ground.

High in the air, Su Jingxing was flying in a straight line.

He flew southwest at double the speed of sound.

Every time a bird in the sky came close, he circulated the pressure from 800 years of true energy cultivation to repel it far away.

He ensured that there were no obstructions on the way and proceeded steadily.

After flying out of another prefecture, Su Jingxing took out the Dragon Melting Cauldron and released the Sishui Horned Dragons into it, restoring the connection guiding him.

Perhaps due to the shortening of the distance, the connection between the Dragon Melting Cauldron and the blade became stronger.

Su Jingxing simply held the Dragon Melting Cauldron in his hands and followed this increasingly strong connection into another prefecture.

‘The Sifang Prefecture.

He flew past half of the prefecture and arrived above a vast forest.

At this point, the connection between the Dragon Melting Cauldron and its exclusive blade had climbed to the highest level.

Flying above the sea of trees, he sniffed the fragrance in the air.

Su Jingxing stopped when he was above a stretch of ancient tree that was hundreds of meters tall.

He had arrived at his destination!

Outside of this area, the connection between the Dragon Melting Cauldron and the blade became weaker.

‘When he returned here, it became stronger.

This change clearly told Su Jingxing that this area was where the exclusive blade was.

The lush forest was filled with the fragrance of dozens of miles.

This also told Su Jingxing where this place was.

The Ten Miles Fragrance Forest!

A forest where its fragrance could be picked up from ten miles away.

It was a famous perilous land in the Sifang Prefecture and Yu Nation.

Although the depths of the Green Cloud Mountain Range were also dangerous, it was not a perilous land.

But the Ten Miles Fragrance Forest was.

It was clear how dangerous this place was.

‘This was especially true for the area where Su Jingxing was currently. Old trees that were hundreds of meters tall, huge tree crowns, dense leaves and branches that extended out were crowded together, completely concealing the situation on the ground.

A place like this was clearly perilous.

If it were anyone else, even if they were in the fifth-grade or fourth-grade, they would not dare to step into it easily.

But Su Jingxing wasn’t afraid.

His powerful perception swept downwards, he didn’t sense much danger.

Immediately, he put away Thunderbolt and prepared to land on the ground.

While landing, he executed the Ghost Python Breath-holding Technique to ensure that not a trace of his aura was leaked.

As he passed through the dense foliage, he activated Advanced Hearing and listened to his surroundings.

However, before he landed, a throwing dagger flew out first.

Swish!

Plkch!

‘The sound of rushing wind was followed by a strange sound of penetration.

A two-meter-long green lizard suddenly revealed itself on a thick branch. There was a bloody hole in its head, and it laid on the branch, dead.

Achameleon!

It changed its skin color to blend into his surroundings.

Moreover, its aura was not leaked at all. If Su Jingxing had not heard its weak heartbeat, he would not have discovered it anytime soon.

Swish!

‘The treasure throwing daggers broke through the wind again.

Plkch!

‘The head of a multi-colored giant snake as thick as a human’s thigh was pierced through. Its body that was wrapped around an old tree lost its strength and immediately fell. With a plop, it fell into a bush that was as tall as a person.

A strange rustling sound came from the bushes.

Su Jingxing floated 10 meters above the ground and slowly moved forward according to the Dragon Melting Cauldron’s senses.

As he restrained his aura, he also held his breath.

‘The fragrance in the air was a little sweet, but after inhaling it, one would feel dizzy.

It was poisonous!

With his profound true energy cultivation, it wouldn’t be a problem for him to not breathe for an hour or two.

For this, Su Jingxing held the Dragon Melting Cauldron and floated silently in midair.

He only stopped when he reached a wide cave.

It was a huge cave more than 30 meters in diameter. There was not a single plant at its periphery. The ground was also full of potholes that were piled up with dark green mucus.

‘Without needing to breathe, just by approaching the cave entrance, one could see with the naked eye wisps of purplish-black mist floating out from the bottom of the cave.

An invisible suppression was accompanied by a palpitating restlessness and provoked one’s nerves.

Under the dense foliage, this dark cave was like the mouth of a giant beast, attempting to devour everything.

The Dragon Melting Cauldron’s exclusive blade is actually in such a place.

How did it get here?

Su Jingxing became vigilant and did not slow down his movements.

With a leap, he pressed close to the cave wall and entered the cave.

Circulating Night Vision and Distant Vision, the situation in the cave quickly came into view.

Moving less than 20 meters downwards he saw small holes on the wall.

Of course, these small holes were only small as compared to the cave. In fact, each hole was about two meters in diameter.

From time to time, sounds that would tickle the depths of one’s heart would come from the densely packed holes.

Chirps and hisses.

Su Jingxing tried his best to stick to the walls with no holes and slowly descend.

50 meters.

70 meters.

100 meters.

He descended for more than 500 meters before reaching the bottom.

Standing in a pile of bones, Su Jingxing looked around. Under his Night Vision, an incomparably spacious underground cave presented a different scene.

‘The upside-down stalactites hung from the dome, the highest was a hundred meters above the ground.

‘The towering rocks were piled up together. From afar, they looked like burial mounds.

Lumps of sticky liquid could be seen everywhere on the walls, ground, and rocks.

‘As he was holding his breath, Su Jingxing did not catch the strange smell in the air, nor would he do so.

Advanced Hearing was still activated, and he continued to listen to the surroundings.

Badump! Badump!

Faint heartbeats sounded clearly by his ears.

However, when he looked up, he only saw rubble or walls.

Invisibility!

‘These invisible creatures were no surprise. They were similar to the big lizard that Su Jingxing had killed back on the surface.

It could change its skin color and blend into the surroundings to achieve invisibility.

In other words, this is a lizard nest?

Moreover, these big lizards seem to be sleeping.

Su Jingxing had restrained his aura and his heartbeat could barely be heard.

However, his body was not invisible. Currently, he was exposed to the air. The nearest heartbeat was less than 10 meters away.

If the big lizards had seen him, they wouldn’t have remained indifferent.

‘Their heartbeats and breathing also matched the sleeping frequency.

With this in mind, Su Jingxing decisively moved forward, trying his best to distance himself from the heartbeat. He held the Dragon Melting Cauldron and moved quickly.

After circling around the cave with the strongest suppression and aura, he passed through a tall pile of rubble and sneaked into a deep passageway.

Finally, he arrived in a cave filled with giant eggs.

Each egg was more than a meter tall and oval in appearance. There were heartbeats coming from within, steam rising from them, and cracks all over the surface of the shell.

The top half of the egg was already broken. A small entirely black-brown lizard was lying on the ground at the edge of the eggshell, gnawing on unknown flesh.

At a glance, there were more than a hundred similar small lizards.

And there were at least 2,000 that had yet to break out of their shells!

Lizard nest.

This cave was like a lizards’ incubation chamber.

Su Jingxing’s brain worked, searching for the species in his memories based on the appearance of the little lizards.

The Mountain Dragon Salamander, yes, the Mountain Dragon Salamander!

‘These lizards were all Mountain Dragon Salamanders, a type of powerful earth attribute lizard with dragon bloodline.

‘The Mountain Dragon Salamander was also the lizard species that was most likely to evolve into Mutated Beasts.

Su Jingxing didn’t know if there were any Mutated Beasts in the cave outside.

His intuition told him that there was!

‘The underground cave was too big. Su Jingxing didn’t go into every room.

He had directly followed the direction of the Dragon Melting Cauldron to the incubation room in front of him and found the exclusive blade.

In the center of the thousands of Mountain Dragon Salamander eggs, there was a saber that was as tall as a person. It was wide, restrained, and domineering. Its blade was dim, and its handle had many scales. It was like a dragon’s saber that stabbed into the ground, occasionally emitting a vibrating cry.

“The Wandering Dragon Saber?”

At first glance, Su Jingxing recognized the saber.

‘The Wandering Dragon Saber was Liu Chenglong’s weapon when he was alive. It was a weapon that specialized in killing and was extremely sharp.

It wasn’t as Su Jingxing thought, that it was the exclusive saber of the Dragon Melting Cauldron.

‘The reason why the two were connected was most likely because they came from the same forging table.

To put it simply, both the Wandering Dragon Saber and the Dragon Melting Cauldron were blood spirit weapons!

‘What puzzled Su Jingxing was

Why did the Mountain Dragon Salamanders put the Wandering Dragon Saber in the incubation chamber?

This action proved that there were Mutated Beasts among the Mountain Dragon Salamanders.

But Su Jingxing still couldn’t figure out why they did that.

Using the Wandering Dragon Saber to incubate the eggs?

This thought suddenly popped up in Su Jingxing’s mind.

After snapping out of his daze, in his surprise, he released his mental power to sense the vibration of the Wandering Dragon Saber.

And he really did find something. Every time the Wandering Dragon Saber vibrated, it would shake the air and reach the eggs, causing the eggs to tremble ever so slightly.

The closer they were to the Wandering Dragon Saber, the more obvious the trembling was.

And most of the huge eggs hatched were indeed close to the Wandering Dragon Saber!

“Genius…”

Su Jingxing sighed with emotion at the wonder of this phenomenon.

‘The Mutated Beast amongst the Mountain Dragon Salamanders could be said to be a genius.

It actually made use of the Wandering Dragon Saber to accelerate the hatching of the eggs and possibly even strengthen them?

In particular, the vibration of the Wandering Dragon Saber was not spontaneous, but triggered by pieces of strange metals.

Around the ground where the Wandering Dragon Saber was sticking out, palm-sized, dark golden stones were scattered about.

Su Jingxing couldn’t tell what kind of stones they were immediately.

And neither could he be bothered to guess. He flew over silently, grabbed the Wandering Dragon Saber, and stored it in his palm space. Then, he picked up a few stones from the ground and turned around to leave.

During this process, a few small lizards saw Su Jingxing and became rooted to the ground. Their eyes were fixed on Su Jingxing as he flew past their heads.

Seeing that Su Jingxing had completely left the cave, they then let out strange cries.

Their voices were soft and low.

If Su Jingxing hadn’t been using Advanced Hearing, he wouldn’t have heard them at all.

Because he had heard them, his speed suddenly increased.

The cave outside suddenly became lively.

Heavy footsteps, messy yet close-packed, rushed towards the cave where the incubation chamber was.

The other Mountain Dragon Salamanders were alarmed!

Su Jingxing accelerated to his fastest speed. After emerging from the dark passageway, he even executed the 36 Alterations of a Thousand Transformations and condensed 10 true energy clones. They spread out and flew everywhere, luring the approaching Mountain Dragon Salamanders in all directions.

Tss!

Roar!

Dong! Dong! Dong!

Low growls, running sounds, and crashing sounds.

Instantly, the entire underground cave became extremely lively.

‘The 10 true energy clones lured the Mountain Dragon Salamanders that were five to six-meter-long to dash around wildly in the cave.

Su Jingxing’s main body took the opportunity to make a rush back to the bottom of the cave where he came from.

He took out Thunderbolt and enlarged it. Stepping on it, he accelerated and soared upwards.

Swoosh!

Following the wide passage, he charged into the sky.

The depth of more than 500 meters was covered in an instant and returned back beneath the blue sky.

He adjusted his direction and returned to Changyang Prefecture.

When he left the range of the forest, a loud beast roar suddenly came from behind.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

‘The air surged and rippled under the roar.

A terrifying pressure accompanied by an overwhelming aura enveloped a radius of tens of kilometers.

In an instant, the Ten Miles Fragrance Forest fell silent.

All the birds, beasts, insects, and fish kept quiet, not daring to move.

Within hundreds of meters around the cave that Su Jingxing came out from, the leaves of old trees were rustling.

Su Jingxing, who had just left the forest, sensed this terrifying might. Immediately, it was as if an ancient giant beast had awakened and was roaring as it chased after him.

“Beast King!”

Alarms went off in Su Jingxing’s mind. He instinctively sped up and broke through the air at six times the speed of sound.

He only stopped when he was far away from the Ten Miles Fragrance Forest and exhaled slightly.

Beast King!

‘There was actually a Mutated Beast at the level of Beast King among the Mountain Dragon Salamanders.

Su Jingxing was quite lucky.

When he dived into the cave, he did not alert the Mountain Dragon Salamander King.

It was only after he got the Wandering Dragon Saber out that the other party noticed him and roared angrily.

I wonder which corner of the underground cave this Mountain Dragon Salamander King was lying in?

Most Mutated Beasts were not terrifying, but the kings among them were.

Every Beast King had the power to destroy a city.

Without the need for a beast tide, the Beast King alone could break through the city.

‘An existence of this level could only be dealt with by experts in the top ranks, and they had to have an advantage in numbers.

Beast Kings were also divided into strong and weak ones.

Low-level, intermediate-level, and advanced-level.

It corresponded to the third-grade, second-grade, and first-grade in the top ranks.

A low-level Beast King could only be killed by two or more ordinary third-grade martial artists.

What level was this Mountain Dragon Salamander King?
